How to compare multiple HLOOKUP cases - excel

In my sheet I have a formula using HLOOKUP to calculate a number based on the content of a cell. The content can be choosen among "OK","NOK","-".
Deliverable | CASE |Description | Value
Deliverable1 | OK | ******* | 3
Deliverable1 | NOK | ####### | 6
Deliverable1 | - | &&&&&&& | 10
Deliverable2 | OK | ******* | 4
Deliverable2 | NOK | ####### | 7
Deliverable2 | - | &&&&&&& | 9
I want then to calculate, for a given deliverable, the difference between the applied case and the case when the selection is put to "OK". I.e. if I have a -, I want to get 7.
To achieve this I have created a duplicate sheet where I force the content of the cell to be OK, and then I calculate the difference. The problem with this approach is that when using filtering or sorting the calculation is messed up.
Is there a way to avoid using the duplicate sheet?

MS Excel: How to list all column if the rows contain a given date?

My data looks like below. I have Groups that I share topics each day. We do this randomly based on need.
| | Topic 1 | Topic 2 | Topic 3 | Topic 4 | Topic 5 | Topic 6 | Topic 7 | Topic 8 | Topic 9 |
|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
| Group 1 | | 19-apr | 30-apr | | | | | | |
| Group 2 | 18-apr | 25-apr | | | | | | | |
| Group 3 | | | | | 19-apr | 30-apr | | | |
| Group 4 | 18-apr | 25-apr | | | | | | | |
| Group 5 | | | | | | | 19-apr | 30-apr | |
| Group 6 | | | 25-apr | | | | | | |
| Group 7 | 18-apr | 25-apr | | | | | | | |
For our metrics & analysis, we need a list of groups per date on a different sheet. We like to know which all groups were engaged a given day. Like below
Can somebody please help me how I can get this done with only using formulas and without macros?
I believe this can somehow be handled on Index Matching or look-ups.
You could definitely do this with macros. You can do something similar without macros; it may not be precisely what you were looking for because it will leave blank space where groups were not addressed.
Method 1
Here is the formula I used and a picture of the sheet it is in:
=IF(IFERROR(MATCH(L$4,$B6:$H6,0),FALSE),INDEX($B$5:$B$13,MATCH($K5,$B$5:$B$13,0),1),"")
The idea is that if you have absolute references alongside your list of groups per date, then you can use index and match to fill in that group's name, but only if Match finds that precise date code in that group's row from the previous table. If you place an equivalent formula in the first cell, you can drag it out to the rest of the array.
The formula I used is not the only way to do this, but if you know Index and Match, then it should make sense to you.
Method 2
A more convoluted method would be to use image references. With these, it is possible to make the report precisely what you asked for on a separate sheet.
Suppose you took Method 1 and separated each column out into a different table. Nearly the same formula inside the cells below the date heading, except that you enclose the heading reference in int() as shown below. Create one table for each of N dates, where N is the number of days you want to monitor at once. Then when you want the summary to show you different dates, you go to each table and change the heading, and filter out blanks.
formula:
=IF(IFERROR(MATCH(INT($L$2),$B4:$H4,1),FALSE),INDEX($B$4:$B$11,MATCH($K3,$B$4:$B$11,1),0),"")
The below image shows what I mean by one table for each date:
Then you insert an image. Doesn't matter what image; could be a screenshot of anything. Click on that image, then click into the formula bar. Then highlight the table column you want it to represent. Below is a screenshot of how to to that:
Now place that picture on its own sheet in the workbook. Place each date table on its own sheet in the workbook. The reason you do this is: if you filter a table, everything else overlapping the filtered rows outside the table will also be hidden. You move tables to separate sheets to prevent them from hiding each other.
Finally, arrange your pictures into the order you like, filter the blanks out of the tables, and your images will be exactly what you were looking for:
Again, this is a little convoluted because if you want the report to show you new date summaries, you would have to change the headings on every table. Then you would have to go to each table and refresh it's filter. This is where macros usually come in.
Assume range A1:J8 housed your Source table, and L1:P8 housed the Date/Group Output
1] In L2, copied across :
=IFERROR(1/(1/AGGREGATE(15,6,$B$2:$J$8/($B$2:$J$8>K$2),1)),"")
2] In L3, copied across to P3 and all copied down :
=IF(L$2="","",IFERROR(INDEX($A:$A,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$2:$A$8)/($B$2:$J$8=L$2),ROW(A1))),""))
You can use the following formula to get a list of dates from a table:
=IFERROR(AGGREGATE(15,6,($B$2:$J$8/($B$2:$J$8*(COUNTIF($A$15:A15,$B$2:$J$8)=0)))*$B$2:$J$8,1),"")
To get a list of groups by date, use the following:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$8,AGGREGATE(15,6,(1/(B$15=$B$1:$J$8))*ROW($B$1:$J$8),ROW(A1))),"")

Return the running total of a specific item # from a non-static list of multiple item #'s

I am trying to create a simplified logistics spreadsheet that has a static tab of items (titled 'Items available') and their available quantities that, for each item, displays the running total of that item in inventory by referencing another tab ('Released & added') of items and their continually added & subtracted quantities.
The 'Released & added' tab will be a dynamic one and will use positive integers when a part quantity is being added and negative integers when they are being reduced. A formula that counts the number of rows in the dynamic tab in order to determine the table set first would be preferable, but for my own purposes, setting lookup range to a static quantity such as 2000 would suffice.
I have tried using various formulas that utilize INDEX and MATCH, however, I cannot seem to find a solution that properly hashes the table array in the released & added tab and it looks to me as if the AGGREGATE function may be required to do so.
Sheet1:
| Part Code | Available quantity |
|-----------|--------------------|
| ABC123 | Should be 35 |
| XYZ321 | Should be 21 |
| EFG456 | Should be 25 |
Sheet2:
| Part Code | Released / Added |
|-----------|------------------|
| ABC123 | 55 |
| XYZ321 | 28 |
| ABC123 | -12 |
| EFG456 | 35 |
| EFG456 | -10 |
| XYZ321 | -7 |
| ABC123 | -8 |
Right, you seem to benefit from using SUMIF()
The formula used in B2 translates to:
=SUMIF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$8,Sheet1!A2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$8)

Counting the frequency of combinations of numbers (in excel using VBA)

I want excel to count the FREQUENCY that certain number-letter combinations appear down a column in excel (using vba). All my data goes down one column like this:
Column A (only 1,2,3,4,5,s,f appear)
1
2
s
4
3
s
4
2
f
2
s
2
s
I want to count the number of occasions combinations of (1-s, 2-s, 3-s, 4-s, 5-s) occur, strictly when the number occurs first (is in the higher row). I do not want to count occasions when the s comes before the number (e.g. s-2). I know how to count the number of individual letters/numbers using the countIf function.
I might later want to expand my analysis to look at the occasions that three letter-number combinations (e.g. 2-s-3, 2-s-5)
I am very much a VBA noob.
Try inserting a new column to the right of Column A. Use this formula =A1&A2 and fill it down the column. The values will look like this:
+----------+----------+
| Column A | Column B |
+----------+----------+
| 1 | 12 |
| 2 | 2s |
| s | s4 |
| 4 | 43 |
| 3 | 3s |
| s | s4 |
| 4 | 42 |
| 2 | 2f |
| f | f2 |
| 2 | 2s |
| s | s2 |
| 2 | 2s |
| s | s |
+----------+----------+
Now you can count occurences like you were doing before! :D
Of course, you can expand to three character frequency analysis by making the formula =A1&A2&A3.
Seems possible with COUNTIFS, with 1 to 5 inclusive in C1:G1 and in C2:
=COUNTIFS($A1:$A12,C1,$A2:$A13,"s")
copied across to suit.
You can use the VBA equivalent of this formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(A1:A12)),--(A2:A13="s"))
which looks for number, followed by s in the row below (4 for your sample)
code
MsgBox Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(A1:A12)),--(A2:A13=""s""))")

Excel Formula Optimisation

I am no excel expert and after some research have come up with this formula to look at two sets of the same data from different times. It then displays new entries that are in the latest list of data but not in the old list.
This is my formula:
{=IF(ROWS(L$4:L8)<=(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNA(MATCH($E$1:$E$2500,List1!$E$1:$E$2500,0)))),
INDEX(E$1:E$2500,
SMALL(IF(ISNA(MATCH($E$1:$E$2500&$F$1:$F$2500,List1!$E$1:$E$2500&List1!$F$1:$F$2500,0)),
ROW($F$1:$F$2500)-ROW($F$1)+1),ROWS(L$4:L8))),"")}
Are there any optimisation techniques I could employ to speed up the calculation?
As requested
Some example data(link to a spreadsheet):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B186C84TADzrMlpmelJoRHN2TVU/edit?usp=sharing
On this scaled down version its more efficent but on my actual sheet with a lot more data it is slowed.
Well, I was playing around a bit and I think that this works the same, and without the first IF statement:
=IFERROR(INDEX(A$1:A$2500,SMALL(IF(ISNA(MATCH($A$1:$A$2500&$B$1:$B$2500,List1!$A$1:$A$2500&List1!$B$1:$B$2500,0)),ROW($B$1:$B$2500)-ROW($B$1)+1),ROWS(F$2:F2))),"")
That part in your sample data:
ROWS(F$2:F2)<=(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNA(MATCH($A$1:$A$2500,List1!$A$1:$A$2500,0))))
As I understood it, it only sees to it that the row number in which the formula is entered is lower than the number of 'new' items, but it doesn't serve any purpose because when you drag the formula more than required, you still get errors instead of the expected blank. So I thought it could be removed altogether (after trying to substitute it with COUNTA() instead) and use an IFERROR() on the part directly fetching the details.
EDIT: Scratched that out. See barry houdini's comment for the importance of those parts.
Next, you had this:
ROW($B$1:$B$2500)-ROW($B$1)+1
-ROW($B$1)+1 always returns 0, so I didn't find any use to it and removed it altogether.
It's still quite long and takes some time I guess, but I believe it should be faster than previously by a notch :)
A relatively fast solution is to add a multi-cell array formula in a column alongside List 2
{=MATCH($A$1:$A$16,List1!$A$1:$A$11,0)}
and filter the resultant output for #N/A.
(Or see Compare.Lists vs VLOOKUP for my commercial solution)
Array formula is slow. When you have thousands of array formula, it will make the speed very slow. Thus the key will be to avoid any array formula.
The following will be my way to achieve it, using only simple formula. It should be fast enough if you only have 2500 rows.
Column F and H are "Keys", created by concatenating your 2 columns (E and F in your original formula)
Assuming the first line of data is on row 3.
Data:
| A | B | | D | E | F | | H |
| index | final value | | ID | exist in Old? | Key (New) | | Key (Old) |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 1 | XXX-33 | | 0 | 3 | OOD-06 | | OOC-01 |
| 2 | ZZZ-66 | | 0 | 1 | OOC-01 | | OOC-02 |
| 3 | ZZZ-77 | | 1 | N/A | XXX-33 | | OOD-06 |
| 4 | | | 1 | 4 | OOE-01 | | OOE-01 |
| 5 | | | 1 | 2 | OOC-02 | | OOF-03 |
| 6 | | | 2 | N/A | ZZZ-66 | | |
| 7 | | | 3 | N/A | ZZZ-77 | | |
Column E "exist in Old?": test if the new key (Column F) exists in the old list (Column H)
=MATCH(F3, $H$3:$H$2500, 0)
Column D "ID": to increment by one whenever a new item is found
=IF(ISNA(E3), 1, 0)+IF(ISNUMBER(D2), D2, 0)
the 2nd part of ISNUMBER is just for the first row, where just using D2 can cause an error
Column A "index": just a plain series starting from 1 (until the length of new list Column F)
Column B "final value": to find the new key by matching column A to Column D.
=IF(A3>MAX($D$3:$D$2500), "", INDEX($F$3:$F$2500, MATCH(A3, $D$3:$D$2500, 0))
This column B will be the list you want.
If it is still too slow, there exists some dirty tricks to speed up the calculation, e.g. by utilizing a sorted list with MATCH( , , 1) instead of MATCH( , , 0).

Excel search value from whatever row and if found on another row replace that row with the value in the first row

What I am Trying to do is
lets say I have a excel sheet with
rows
ProductNo | Product | Sku | Price | Image | Thumb
25 | Shirt Blue | 4251 | $10 | shirt.jpg | shirtthumb.jpg
2 | Shirt Green | 4581 | $17 | green.jpg | greenthumb.jpg
8 | Shirt Black | 4561 | $15 | black.jpg | blackthumb.jpg
and just in different rows or on another excel sheet
ProductNo | Product | Sku | Price | Image | Thumb
25 | Shirt Blue | 4251 | $52 | |
2 | Shirt Green | 4581 | $42 | |
8 | Shirt Black | 4561 | $65 | |
How can i change the first table to update if the the second table or sheet columns data is different on specified columns and if the cells are empty forget about them ignore them and just replace the values from the second table onto the first
Final would be
ProductNo | Product | Sku | Price | Image | Thumb
25 | Shirt Blue | 4251 | $52 | shirt.jpg | shirtthumb.jpg
2 | Shirt Green | 4581 | $42 | green.jpg | greenthumb.jpg
8 | Shirt Black | 4561 | $65 | black.jpg | blackthumb.jpg
I have tried a couple of excel functions but they do not work since i have so many products to be doing cell additions
I tried doing in Vl but got confused and macro i dont even know what it is
Im open to whatever visual, functions just as long as i can perform the task
if anybody know hos let me know
Thank You
in stead of having the fixed values I propose you use a permanent formula in the specified columns.
Now to do this I would use a VLOOKUP() function. I am assuming that your ProductNo is the element that never changes therefore all the other columns will get a VLOOKUP() function.
Now if I understand correctly you MIGHT have an update in the 2nd table for the 1st table, but any empty cells in the 2nd table should be ignored.
I am also assuming you wish to see when an element will change because of the update therefore I propose the following:
In the first table add for the block of columns elements that might need an update: 2 blocks of columns, the first with the result of combining (the COMB-block) and the second with lookups from the 2nd table (the LOOKUP-block). For convenience of explaining I put the two tables in the same workbook on the sheets called table1 and table2
ProductNo | Product | Sku | Price | Image | Thumb | Product_comb | Sku_comb | Price_comb | Image_comb | Thumb_comb | Product_lookup | Sku_lookup | Price_lookup | Image_lookup | Thumb_lookup
Now start with formulas in the LOOKUP-block, use VLOOKUP(), such as this one for the *Product_vlookup* column:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,table2!$A:B,COLUMNS(table2!$A:B),FALSE),"")
The IFERROR is for the case the product in table1 cannot be found in table2
For the formulas in the COMB-block the following will prefer the table 2 result over the table 1 result. As VLOOKUP of a matching ProductNo with an empty Element (for example for the Image) will result in a 0 (zero) returned all zeroes are regarded false lookup results as well. This is the script for the *Product_comb* column:
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(L2),L2=0),B2,L2)
As a final step to identify the products that changed you can either add a column that compared the original value with the _comb value:
=AND(B2=G2,C2=H2,D2=I2,E2=J2,F2=K2) (this returns true for no changed columns and false for any changed column)
Or use conditional formatting on each element separately or on the combination as the AND() formula shows.
As a final step in your process of updating you could copy all records from the COMB-block and paste it over the original elements.
If you have any further questions please ask.
